HP Business Inkjet 2800dtn does not work with Mac!

After struggling for months to get the HP Business Inkjet 2800dtn working properly with Mac OS X 10.4, I contacted HP support. I told them the printer is extremely slow and fails to properly print moderately complex images.

Result: They told me they know the 2800 does not work well with Mac OS X. Switch to Windows or get your money back. I'm baffled. I explicitly checked for Mac-compatibility when I bought the printer.

However, the HP website still states that the printer is supported. Isn't this sort of thing illegal?

HP is famous for their slacking mac support. With the internet at hand it's not very hard to check before you buy one how much problems a particular model has. Also as a FreeBSD geek you should not use Mac's at all ;-)
